You can now see user’s time off for better planning and execution. You can also add new time off reports and calendars to your dashboards for a real-time view of user availability.
You can now decide whether to allow the time off schedule of the Primary Assignee of a task to adjust the planned dates.
Now, when you comment on a document, your update appears on the Updates tab both for the document and for the object where the document is attached.
When you assign a user to a task or an issue, you can now see an in-line warning if the user selected has time off scheduled any time between the planned dates of the task or issue.
We have created a new field type in the custom form builder called Typeahead. This field allows you to add fields that represent objects to your custom forms.
